Slovenia is one of the smallest countries in Europe with an amazing amount to offer. Coming over for a short stay only scratches the surface of its amazing possibilities in terms of its nature, culture, and people. But that does not mean we cannot show you the tip which makes the iceberg so appealing.

And that’s exactly what this fly & drive holiday in Slovenia is all about.

Thanks to Slovenia’s small size and exceptional connectivity, you can visit the places you want without worrying about getting to your destination in time or missing out on anything. With our list of Slovenia’s main landmarks and attractions, your holiday will be packed to the brim. Enjoy the surprisingly short travel distances on this beautiful country’s well-maintained roads and soak up the countryside as you witness the landscape and climate change before your eyes.

As for accommodations: You will be staying in comfortable lodgings that double as superb basecamps for exploring the wider area, which makes traveling even more convenient.

Your adventure will begin in our vibrant yet homely capital Ljubljana. After some fantastic sightseeing and tasting local cuisine and culture, you will head north to the Alpine region. The panoramic views are breathtaking as you enter a completely different word. The world-famous Lake Bled and a stunning nearby gorge await. This region is home to the incredibly captivating Triglav National Park. You will visit Lake Bohinj and ascend a beautiful mountain by cable car.

Next, you’ll be driving across some more scenically diverse landscapes as you make your way to the enchanting Karst. High on the list of extraordinary destinations, there is the renowned Postojna Cave or its UNESCO-protected counterpart, the network of Škocjan Caves. Other jewels of the Karst are the medieval Predjama Castle and Lipica Stud Farm.

It’s just a short drive to the Slovenian coast, where you will stay the night in Portorož. Visiting the seaside towns of Piran, Koper and Izola present you with yet another side of Slovenia. You will also have plenty of time to enjoy the beach and do some more sightseeing in this charming Mediterranean area.

Frequently Asked Questions

The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.

Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.

It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in.

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.
